Introduction

Cabin dome lights are something we use when looking for something inside the car. It is useful when you're driving because it doesn't cause you to bring out your phone's flashlight. The only problem is the brightness of the original cabin lights, they can be very dimmed. Not only are they dimmed but they don't cover a large area.

Today I will be demonstrating how to replace the original cabin lights that come with the 2020 Honda Civic with new LED cabin lights. They cover a wider area and it is a moderate process to replace.
